I have a 2003 Audi A4 1.8 Turbo around 67,000 miles. It started shooting a lot of white smoke in couple of days. I have read the other answers, and I thought it was burning antifreeze. When I took it to the mechanic shop, the first mechanic said the motor was bad. The second mechanic told me it could be related with turbo. He took the turbo out and yes it was the problem. Turbo was shooting the oil out. Instead of buying an expensive new turbo, I bought the rebuild kit for $40, and rebuilt it. For around $500 the problem is solved. No more smoke , and much better performance. If you have a car with turbo, that might be your problem.
